Access notes

Two independent reviews describe a steep flight of stairs leading up to the playground from the lake walk, a hard barrier for wheelchair users. One review mentions an easier access route exists but does not give enough detail to confirm it.

    Nice and clean playground. Good for all ages. There are swings, slides, trampolines, and climbing ropes. Big space to play and relax. The lake walk is beautiful and good for a family walk or picnic. Toilets and parking close by. Great place to enjoy time outside....

    Great playground, public toilet, drinking fountain, exercise equipment. New condition. The only thing I would change is to complete the fence around the kids playground and include a gate.

    Impressed that we could bring the dogs for a walk, it has benches for those who want to relax and watch the ducks. Beautiful mature trees and tranquil setting with we'll maintained walkways and a magical waterfall next to a long flight of stairs which takes your up to a children's playground and an outdoor Adults gym.

    Beautiful Cambridge provides lovely areas. The playground has swings and slides, with lots of options for all ages. Only a 10min walk from town centre with a nice walk seeing a lot of historic buildings on the way. Also if one feels adventurous there is a lovely lake down the hill you can walk around. Although it's important to note, from the playground it is steep with steps. There is easier access if you walk around to the lake carpark.

    Thanks for getting the toilet back. Was so disappointing seeing it burned down earlier this year. We go here several times a week. …
